Palestinian Popular Struggle Front

The Palestinian Popular Struggle Front is a socialist party in Palestine formed in 1967. Founded by Samir Ghawshah, the PPSF was a Ba'athist faction of the PFLP before splitting, and in 1969 the group attacked Israeli civilians at the Athens Airport before proceeding to hijack planes in the 1970s. During the Lebanese Civil War, Syria and Libya supported the group against the PLO, but in 1991 it rejoined the PLO and became a party in a newly-independent Palestine.
